  1. Texan Gun Owner? by MattRog · · Score: 2, Troll

    "I thought there's no point in getting any more involved in this imbroglio," Webb said. "Besides, this is Texas. You never know what he might have been carrying."

    What a maroon. Way to stereotype both Texans and gunowners. Sure, like some kid is going to shoot you for ratting him out. Grow up, turn off the TV once in a while, maybe even read a book, and shut the hell up.

  2. Stores are the problem... by Monthenor · · Score: 1, Troll
    Reminds of the local Media Play, a year ago. They actually had the good sense to have a demo computer running Linux. Caldera something-or-other. (Sorry, I'm not a big Linux guy. I prefer games ;)

    Of course, in this Win-centric world none of the Media Play employees thought to put a root password on it...

    My friend gave it an rm -rf * and we left the store VERY QUICKLY.

  3. Re:Yeah, with chewing gum by ryantate · · Score: 1, Troll


    It's already done. I saw the I/O ports on some computers at Fry's Electronic blocked with chewing gum. Obviously, Fry's is more clued than CompUSA.

    Yeah, obviously. Ruining a $500+ CPU to save the installed software from piracy. Those Fry's people are real geniuses.
